How are things going at the Wildman Academy?
Incredible, we've got more interest then ever for the upcoming May class. It's really overwhelming considering we don't actively advertise for the school other than having the website up. The current class is coming along very well.

Trying not to be biased, do you feel that having a full time training school in the area hurts the territory, or hurts it?
There are two sides of thought to this. Some people believe that training too many people in one area can take away from the paying crowd for shows when it comes to people training that aren't serious enough to become marketable respectable wrestlers. The way I see it is that as a trainer I do my very best to make sure everyone that walks through the door at my school understands the hard work and sacrifice that they have to make to be successful as wrestlers, both during and after their training. Unfortunately not everyone is going to step up the plate as they should after training, but those that don't take wrestling seriously will eventually be weeded out. I also feel that now that this territory has an abundance of wrestlers compared to the way things were 5-6 years ago it causes everyone to have to step up their game, experienced and newer wrestlers. If everyone in this area isn't making sure that they are staying in shape, keeping a good head on their shoulders and improving themselves in the ring, there's always 10 more guys that will gladly take their spot.

There has been a lot of talk going back to 2005 about Wrestling With Reality now, Wrestling Reality going on TV, tell us about the process it has taken to get this far?
The process has been quite a journey that makes me proud of everyone involved. Rick Doyle and Peter Smith have worked so hard kicking down doors to get this project off the ground, I don't think anyone else could have accomplished what they did in the amount of time we've been working on this project. It's been two and a half years since the original idea for the project came up, and we've taped 2 episodes, met with countless television executives and now finally have signed a 5 year deal with the Fight Network. To accomplish what we have in that small amount of time is no easy task, but thanks to the hard work put in by Rick, Pete, and our new team that our director Greg Hemmings put together, there is no doubt in my mind that we're about to embark on wrestling history.

What do you think about the roster that has been picked for this tour?
I'm very pleased with the lineup we have for season one thus far. There's no one on this roster that I can say doesn't completely deserve to be there. We all bring something different to the table, both for the wrestling show, and the documentary aspect.

Who do you think has the biggest chance to step up and stand out on this tour?
I think the person that will probably stand out the most will be Krysta Lynn Scott. Aside from being one of my top students, Krysta has a passion and drive for wrestling, and life in general that I think will be a complete asset to the show. I predict the world will fall in love with her.

What has been the hardest part of this whole process for you?
I can't say I'd really consider any part of it particularly hard. Wrestling Reality has been a blessing for me in every way. When you've been wrestling for 10 years it's inevitable that you experience a lot of let downs. You get excited about a particular opportunity and it ends up falling through or going nowhere. Before Wrestling Reality I had stopped getting my hopes up about anything with wrestling. This project has completely changed that, every day I get more excited over the possibilities of where we can go with it.

Your thoughts on the name change from Wrestling With Reality to Wrestling Reality
It's going to take some getting used to by everyone involved I think, but in the end a name is a name.

You are the WWR Champion, with this up coming Wrestling Reality tour are you still going to be champion or will things be starting over?
I'm still the Wrestling Reality champion.

What are your thoughts on being on the same network as TNA, NOAH & ROH do you see them as competition or would you like to work with them in the future?
I don't see them as competition really. What we're doing with the documentary side hasn't been done by anyone else, we're our own brand. On the wrestling event side of things as for working with them in the future we'll see what happens I guess, truth be told I never really thought about it. I think they will want to work with us.

Your thoughts on Duke MacIsaac not being on this tour?
I think it's unfortunate. Duke is a good friend and a great asset to any wrestling company but some of the decisions that he's made as of late disassociated him from Wrestling Reality. Hopefully we will see Duke involved with us again in the near future.

Your thoughts on Mike Hughes as a part of WR?
Mike has been a good friend for years and I'm glad to have him on board, he brings lots to the table and it would be terrible business decision to not have him part of this project.

Will The Fight Network be airing the first two episodes already finished?
No, we will be starting completely fresh for our first season. The 6 episodes will all be taped during the upcoming tour. It'll air in a 2 hour time slot this fall, one hour hour of the wrestling event, half hour of the documentary show, and a half hour of shoot interviews.

Do you think the explosion in popularity of Mix Marital Arts is going to hurt the wrestling business?
On a small level maybe, but as a whole I don't think so. Were hoping that Wrestling Reality will open peoples eyes and make them realize what we go threw on a daily basis is real and to show them that it's extremely hard work to be in this profession. It's not all "Fake" and glitz and glammer like most people like to think. I truly believe that we can put this sport back on the map with Wrestling Reality.

Any closing comments?
I just want to take a minute here and thank everyone involved for working so hard on this project thus far. Our whole team is simply amazing. I am so greatful to be part of this project and I am excited to get started on the production of Wrestling Reality "season one".
